How does a Jewish state navigate its future when the most fiercely contested issue at the ballot box is the definition of Judaism itself?
In this episode, Donniel Hartman and Yossi Klein Halevi dissect the profound ways religion is shaping Israel’s upcoming elections. They explore the Likud’s historical transformation into enablers of the ultra-Orthodox, the messianic fervor driving the settlement movement, and the opposition’s attempt to reclaim a broad, inclusive Jewish identity.
